If reduction in iliit eracy is still proceeding at even tin same rate, the illiterate children ii , this country betewen the ages of 1< and 14, inclusive, now number 110 j more than 15 out of every l.oOO. From the standpoint of propor tional reduction of illiteracy Okla j homa leads all the States of tin union. In 1900 this State had 12 illiterate children of the ages named In 1910 it had but 17: Delaware hai '20 in 1900 and but 4 in 1910: Xe\ Hampshire reduced from 4 to 1 New Jersey from 7 to 2: .Missour 1 from 25 to 11; Montana from 2 to 1 Oregon from 2 to 1: Vermont iron 6 to 2: New Mexico front 182 to 09 and Idaho from 5 to 2.

Local Option. . | The News and Courier in an edi-! torial against State-wide prohibition -1 says: "One of the strongest argu' j ments in favor of local option in a 1 matter of this sort is that the eent. tral government has no moral right >' I to enact a statute which it is not prepared to enforce. Whenever it does, L>! so it contributes to the disrespect for1 ri law in general. It helps to breed, lawbreakers and hypocrites." I "Lawbreakers and hypocrites" are a very odious class and the breeding r| of them should he brought to an end; nj as far as possible. But it is perhaps: ^ | not possible to completely do so by' j an> of the nirny legal forms by h i which the whiskey business is sought! I to be handled. It can be said that' I prohibitionists make no promise of ; absolute success at this point. dj But we submit that the "law-! ! breakers and hypocrites" that would s be created bv State-wide prohibition ! I " j '"j ought not to he more odious and ;t j could not be more numerous than: i those nourished by our present svs'* i tern. c' j .Some might think that we are; I mistaken in this especially in the' v j matter of thoir not being more odi-j s| oils. It is. we know, a point not sus^ ceptible of final proof. To some a "lawbreaker and hypocrite" under1 : State-wide prohibition is a more de*i testable man than he is under local i option, or the dispensary or high r-: license or under any form of regula-j j tion. Such a man under the dispell-1 "j sarv system, say. does not cause any- j " thing like the nausea to many that' " lie certainly product's when found in :I dr* territory. This is n<?t easy to 0 explain, unless it be that under the s dispensary he i< only a law breaker.' ' whereas tnuler prohibit i?>11 h" lie- j *i cotnes also a hypocrite. It' this he '' i the true explanation ii .-hows that it "j is the increase of liirht that reveals i the Te.an as he is and that ma! < s himj " I so de e-table. Now. We are of the.

Friday and Saturday, she sank four Hritish steamers and one French steamer and damaged three others. The Merman commander gave the crews of most of the steamers time to leave their vessels and in some cases towed the ship's life boats with the crew to passing steamers, by which they were brought to port. The l*-29 was chased by patrol boats, but proved too elusive, while steamers which tried to ram or escape her found the submarine was much faster than similar craft which previously had been preying on Great Britain's over-sea trade. With a German submarine in the waters around Silly Islands, which the big liners pass on their way across the Atlantic, much uneasiness is felt in shipping circles, and during the course of the day a report, which also reached the American liner New Yok by wireless, was circulated that one had been torpedoed. This report, it is believed, arose from the sinking of the Andalusian. which, belongs to the Kllerman Line. posed to its passage.

He demurred at first, but when 1 told him if it led to any debate I would not insist, and the presiding officer assured him that he would not lose the floor, lie gave his consent for its consideration.
